Economics PhD Graduate School Admission Results

finally

We will recommend that you be admitted to our Ph.D. Program. We have also put you on a waiting list for financial aid. It is not clear whether we can make a financial aid offer to you at this point but we would appreciate it if you tell me your own situation in as much detail as possible.

No word on Funding.

email to check website. So long ARE!

Offer to be put on waiting list for partial funding

$$$

Seriously???

Re-re-re-re-re-re-rejected... Damn!

Acceptance with no funding = Rejection

I didn't see a strong fit with my research interest but I was hoping at least to be wait-listed. It sucks that I started with 4 positive admission results and now I have received 5 negative ones and I am still waiting on 5 more. Hopefully, I will get funding somewhere.

A bit painful, I thought I was competitive here considering the stats on other admits but oh well, I already have an offer I am happy with.

Thank you sincerely for applying to the graduate program in Economics at the University of Pittsburgh. We regret to inform you, however, that we cannot grant you admission to our program at this time. This year a record number of applicants (over 400) competed for fewer slots than in previous years. The Admissions Committee did its best to select a small group of people who will benefit from and contribute to the department and the university. Our decision on your application in no way reflects your ability to be successful in your academic pursuits, but rather that the choices this year were particularly difficult. Thank you again for your interest in our PhD program and for your thoughtful application. Please accept our best wishes as you make your plans for the upcoming year.
